Homesearch Newsletter - Issue 1 - March 2024

Our first Newsletter, in which we aim to keep our wonderful clients up to speed with all things Homesearch!

Issue 1

This is our first article, we'll introduce you to your customer relation team, take a look at the new tool on the block and unpack some recent return on investment for one of our clients. 

Good news for return on investment 

Recently the Homesearch team conducted a deep dive ROI into one of our clients and their canvassing activities last year.

This agency has multiple branches across the home counties as well as offices just outside the Cotswolds. One of the key factors to their success is their consistent use of both the Prospector and Explorer tools. 

What we found was that during 2023, Homesearch helped them secure 232 instructions with a total property value over £93 million!

More interestingly, 199 of these instructions came from off-market Explorer letters, rather than the on-market opportunities provided via Prospector. So while this first newsletter is mainly themed on automating your on-market prospecting, freeing you and your team up for other tasks (more on that later), Off-market canvassing continues to be incredibly lucrative.  

But what does this mean for other agents? How many letters would you need to send to achieve something similar? Well, as it turns out, this agency landed an instruction for every 114 letters dispatched!

While we cannot promise like-for-like success as results can depend on letter content and local brand presence, we can offer to review your off-market canvassing. If you're interested in learning more about Explorer and the opportunities that off-market canvassing can provide, please reach out to your Success Manager, via the contact details listed at the base of this newsletter. 

Product Spotlight - AutoLead

At the end of February, we were thrilled to introduce AutoLead, the latest addition to our suite of powerful tools aimed at simplifying your direct mail efforts. You might have noticed AutoLead appear in your Homesearch toolbar, just between the buttons for Prospector and Explorer. 

Building upon the success of our existing tool, Prospector, AutoLead takes automation to the next level, allowing for seamless on-market prospecting and a 'hands off' approach.

AutoLead harnesses cutting-edge technology to automate the direct mail process, helping maximise efficiency for minimal effort. By leveraging the latest market data, AutoLead allows you to effortlessly identify and engage with potential vendors.
